Unofficially, Vivian Wong is now the Member of Parliament, winning the Sandakan parliamentary seat with a bigger majority than her father, Stephen Wong, who with a majority of 10,098 votes.
In fact, Vivian Wong has made history as she has won the Sandakan parliamentary seat with the greatest majority in the history of Sandakan.
Even more important, Vivian Wong’s victory in the Sandakan by-election is a national turnaround, wiping out the three Pakatan Harapan by-election defeats of Cameron Highlands, Semenyih and Rantau and a knockout
blow to former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s shameless “Malu Apa Bossku” campaign.

Sandakan result definitely is Malu for Bossku but not sure the best way to describe it negation of the three previous losses..
The result does rubbish the message sold by Najib, UMNO and PAS. The negation of the message of Najib, UMNO-PAS is most important because it means it proves they sell a hallucination, false promise and more important based on falsehood i.e. They are lying. UMNO-PAS problem is not DAP nor about non Muslim or any enemies but rather about other Malay party, Malays and Islamic politics itself. UMNO-PAS is indulging in toxic politics because they do not have anything else better to offer.
